FontLab Grey Arrows?

Jon Sleeman

I am completing a font which I have traced in Fontlab. I am currently trying to clean up the font, removing overlapping points etc, and I have noticed there are lots of grey arrows on some glyphs. (See image)

Can somebody tell me what this means and what I should do about it.

Also is there a way of removing single points or incomplete paths automatically?

Thanks in advance!

They show the direction of the curve, clockwise or counter clockwise.

In FontLab you can optimize the curves automatically
